I have deleted the duplicate files but it seems to be getting made each time i run the build command.

Anyone know this issue as to why this is happening?

Answer 1

I am working on react native.

For me, this issue caused because of react-native link Command

This command created multiple duplicate files.

Solution 1 (If your project is in git)

Delete the project and clone the project. (Try to avoid the commands which will create duplicate files )

Solution 2

Find out the duplicate files and delete them.

This thing works for me.

I'll try to come back with a better solution.
